Your Google listing

Vivo Hair Salon Cashel Square shows solid Google Business Listing health with a score of 7.9 out of 10, indicating a strong baseline yet room to refine. The listing has important essentials in place and ongoing improvements in description and photos can lift performance overall. Overall, customers can find reliable contact information and opening status with more optimisation ahead.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Key strengths include a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, a compact page size, and an H1 tag, plus secure HTTPS.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.
  • 2
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.

Your hours against demand

Vivo Hair Salon Cashel Square's opening hours generally align with local demand for midweek and weekend late-morning and early-afternoon bookings, with clear strengths on Tuesdays and Saturdays at peak midday times. However, the salon is closed during several high-demand Monday midday slots and Sunday mid-afternoon, representing concrete missed revenue windows. No hours appear open during low-demand periods.
